sooo sm420 and 465 DO NOT have the same bellhousings:rolleyes: lol. anyway i need a bellhousing for my 465, which one should i look for? is there a better one than the other? ive heard of pass and driver slaves. this is just where the shift for goes in correct? i need a drivers side one i think. What would be better for the clutch, manual or hydro?

and finally whats the manuf # for the correct one? sbc-sm465?

thanks guys. ya kinda noob questions but w.e. lol
 
I Like the hydro. If you are going with a pass drop, then you want a driver slave. If going with a driver drop, then a pass slave (I have one). The pass slave is to close for comfort to the pass drop drive shalf. But if you are puting a real motor and trans into say a Bronco, but keeping the driver drop, then you need a pass slave.
 
what exactly is the diff between pass and drivers slace? besides the obvious...im basically building a 51 ford truck with chevy running gear fram etc. soo alot of this is gonna get fabbed up...
 
Nothing,But the location of the slave. I have a pass side slave if you are going to keep the truck with a drive drop.
 
ok driver drop but pass slave? im confused...lol i though the clutch pedal was attached to an arm which connects to the fork. ie always on drivers side? or am i retarted :) LOL
 
I am sorry should have explained better, My fault. When I say pass slave it is for a hydro bell. Hydro bells have slave cylinders, Manuals just have a fork and some have pivots too. So they made hydro's with the fork and slave on the driver or pass side. A good thing to remember is that the slave (if hydro) should be opposite of your drive shaft. Ex. pass drop driveshalf/ driver slave. Yes a man. bell has the linkage type, And I have never seen a pass side fork on a man bell. Sorry again about the confusion. Hope this clears it up for you.
 
gotcha taht makes perfect sense. now. this i just a mud truck soo no hydro. guess i need a drivers fork assy. right?
 
you using the driver drop (stock f*rd) driveshaft? If so Id run a hydro pass slave bell. Instead of messing with linkages.
 
i mean to say that this is a 70s blazer frame and runnin gear. that im puttin a 51 ford truck body onto. is hydro realy taht much easier?
 
gotcha im no where near even having to worry about setting the clutch up lol. im in the process of goin through axles and sanding/painting frame...so thatll be a while lol
